Posted by Mrudula Anil Karmarkar on February 8th, 2021

The global stout market size is expected to reach USD 15.04 billion by 2027, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., expanding at a CAGR of 4.4% from 2020 to 2027. Shifting consumer inclination towards alcoholic drinks with richer taste and texture is boosting the market growth. Moreover, increasing preferences among consumers for premium drinks with nutritional benefits, such as significant amounts of antioxidants, for a healthy lifestyle are expected to offer new avenues for the market over the forecast period.

Over the past few years, the young generation and working-class population have increasingly adopted the partying culture in pubs, bars, casinos, and even house parties across the globe. The U.S. is one of the countries with a vast bar and nightclub industry in the world. According to the statistics provided by the American Nightlife Association (ANA), in 2018, the U.S. bar and nightclub industry was valued at USD 26 billion and is witnessing a 2.9% Year on Year (YoY) growth. These statistics are opening new avenues for stout.

Europe was the largest regional market for stouts, accounting for more than 35.0% in 2020. Stout was first introduced in the U.K. and it is still widely consumed as a traditional and premium beer in the region. North America is expected to witness significant growth in the years to come due to the increasing adoption of the product among millennials, young customers, and working-class people.

People are increasingly visiting bars, nightclubs, casinos, and pubs across the U.S., thus expanding the market for premium beers, including stout. For instance, according to the American Nightlife Association (ANA), in 2018, an estimated 20.5 million people went to nightclubs or bars in casinos across the U.S. Moreover, out of the total sales of food and beverages in these bars and lounges, 35.0% of sales were beer and ale. These statistics are anticipated to increase the demand for the product over the forecast period.

However, gradually, with the number of vaccines coming, the world market has led to the reopening of tourism and pubbing across the globe, thus opening new opportunities for the global market.
